Car Bomb In New York's Time Square

What could have been a deadly event has been prevented. Police officers and professional workers have worked together to dismantle a improvised car bomb at New York's busiest tourist area, Times Square. The facts are that a t-shirt vendor alerted a police officer early in the morning around 6:30 a.m. He observed the car and smelled gunpowder. They evacuated the area. Later on, the bomb squad arrived and they checked the car and they found an explosive device. They found propane tanks, fireworks, petrol and a clock device in the vehicle. Janet Napolitano's reaction: "We're treating it as if it could be a potential terrorist attack,".

My opinion:
I am shocked by hearing this. I can not think about what could have happen. Luckily they prevented it and they took any cause to make sure that everything went right. I wasn't aware that this could happen in America. It is the first time I hear such a thing like that. What worries me the most is that everybody now knows what he or she needs to make a bomb. The spokesman was very detailed about what the bombsquad founded. It was almost as I was watching DIY.

  1. Dear Egbert,

    Another clear summary and reaction but there are a few more grammar mistakes here, especially with tenses in your reaction. First the punctuation at the end of your quote should be: ." no more, no less! The tense errors in your reaction I would like you to focus on are: "could have happen," "the first time I hear such a thing." A vocab point: "they took any cause" -> "they took every precaution" and "as I was watching" -> "as if I was watching..."

    Keep up the good work.
